NEWS: Automation and digitalisation in tank terminals

"These days, it is hard to find an article about industry and technology which doesn’t mention Industry 4.0, big data or the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). If you believe the hype, everything will be connected, everything will be automated and all operations will run super efficiently." says colleague Tom Capiau, Innovation Manager at Agidens.

The tank terminal industry offers plenty of opportunity for automation and digitalisation, but in his opinion, we should take into account that these are means and not goals in themselves.
